I am having the exact same problem. I am the admin of the site and have done all tips I’ve found in wordpress support: cleared cache & cookies, restarted everything, logged in and out, connection is also fine. Nothing is “fixing” this error.
(I am able to work on my site on my tablet though but I much prefer the convenience of desktop)

I’ve had a similar problem before, but I didn’t need to change my password. I’ve just had a look at the thread where I mentioned it, and it looks like working on a different device helps (if one’s available), and if not, leaving it for an hour or two might also help.
In the original thread (https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/apostrophes-turning-to-039-on-saving-cant-save-posts-keep-logging-out-site-setup-list-showing-instead-of-usual-page-not-submitting-queries/#post-3401228), it looks like everything started working again after two hours. I was using a different device to the one where I first experienced the problem. -
Changing my password seems to have worked for me as well. (Hopefully it won’t start update-failing again.)

@confessionsofarefashionista, I’m glad you were able to get this sorted. Thanks @graceformyheart for the suggestion!
@santabarbaraastrologer, are you now able to save your work? If not, let us know when you’ve tried the above suggestions, and we’ll see if there are any other solutions.
Updating your browser could help? -
Also, if you’re still having trouble, do you mind seeing if this is happening for all posts, or one in particular?
-
Oh, and sharing the URL of your site might help us find a solution, if you still can’t save your work.

Thanks!
I just got the link to this thread
Still happening
I don’t know how to clear cache/cookies
I have only my desktop computer
It’s happening when I make or edits or new posts. If I close the program, reopen, start over, sometimes it allows me to save one or two additions/updates then there is the red line again.
If I need to change my password, please direct me where to do that – my daughter set this up for meThanks again ~~~

Writer 0001: Thanks for checking in! I was panicked, on a deadline that I was able to meet this morning!
I easily changed my password, saving fine now, so didn’t need to mess with cache and cookies. Desktop is fine.
Thank you all so much!
